hangnout, once again I'm left smacking my forehead with a V8 can! Your solutions to everything are both elegant and simple, while in hindsight so obvious. I just love watching your brain work.

Thanks Hangnout for the cool idea on end caps. After seeing your way I had to try it and in the spirit of Halloween I did it in orange. I may top it off with the Shug style removable netting.

Looks good and just in time for hunting season
Looks good jrs... Im a big fan of orange too.
I ended up going with a sewn on end cap because I want to retain the ability to add a zippered bug net. So I have been making templates as I come across a new needed dimension. There are 2 of them in the picture, one for a 36" and one for a 43".

Opie,
I've built a couple of bridge's using Hikingdad's end cap method, but have wanted to try a sewn on end cap like you've done. Do you add an extra fabric to you templates for a seam allowance to sew the end cap to the hammock body? Do you just use a french seam to sew the end cap to the hammock body?
Thanks,
Dave-O
I added .5 inches for a seam. I just sewed the edges together close to the cut ends and then covered the seam with bias tape. I have one finished I'll take a picture of this evening.
